For many bird people across the globe, the beginning of the year is a wonderful time. Yearly lists can start anew, and who knows what the next twelve months will bring? While rarities whet the appetite of any birder, the expected birds are much more frequently counted. And this was not any different for us when we started our 14 days birding trip that took us to birding hotspot found in eastern and coastal part of Kenya.
There were of course numerous avian highlights during our grand tour of that part of the country and of the nine or ten Kenyan endemics we encountered four, namely; Taita Thrush, Taita Apalis, Taita White-eye, Clarke’s Weaver. We also saw rarities and restricted-range species such as Sokoke Scops Owl, Friedmann’s Lark, Malindi and Sokoke Pipits, Golden Palm and Taveta Golden Weavers.

25 January 2012: The clients arrived on 25 January, 2012.After checking out of the Airport our birding trip begun immediately and we pocketed some few species at the airport which included; Little, White-ramped, Horus and African-palm Swift, Red-winged Starling, Common Bulbul and Grey-headed Sparrow. On this day, we were a little bit lucky to avoid the traffic jam that is always associated with Mombasa road that link to Jomo Kenyatta international airport, this was so because the president of Kenya was returning from an overseas trip, and the highway was virtually empty and only few cars were allowed to speed over it. Despite the speed that our driver Charles was doing the highway, we still managed to see 20 or so Sacred Ibis were patched on several trees along the way.
Once in our Hotel, located in Karen, one of Kenya well known suburb, the ground of the hotel was very productive and we saw Northern-pied Babbler, Scarlet-chested, Collared and Bronze Sunbird, Parrot-billed and House Sparrow, Speke’s Weaver and Hadada Ibis.
26th January 2012: This day started a bit early for us. After having breakfast at 5:45 a.m, by 6:20 am we were ready to leave for a full day tour to Nairobi National Park. We were at the Langata Main Gate at exactly 6:30 a.m., It took us 10 minutes to clear with park authorities and by quarter to seven we were already into full birding. In the nearby forest 300 meters after the gate we recorded Yellow-whiskered Greenbul, Long-tailed and Common Fiscal, Spotted and Pale Flycatcher, Common Stonechat, Blackcap, Singing Cisticola, Yellow-breasted Apalis, Mountain Yellow Warbler, Yellow White-Eye, White-bellied Tit, Variable Sunbird, Bronze Mannikin, Red-cheeked Cordon Blue, Streaky Seedeater and Collared Widow bird.
Once, we exited the forest to the grassland savanna we spotted Zitting, Desert, Winding, Stout, Pectrol-patch and Rattling Cisticola, Grassland Pipit, Rufouse-naped and Athi Short-toed Lark, Lesser-striped and Red-rumped and Barn Swallow, Brown Parisoma, Oliveceous Warbler, Brubru, Whinchat, Saddle-billed Stork and Little Egret, Squacco Heron, Goliat, Grey and Black Headed Heron.
We also had an impressive view of Quail-Finch, Common and Yellow-bellied Waxbill, African Silverbill, Red-billed and African Firefinch, Booted, Tawny, Steppe, Martial and African-hawk Eagle. As we were exited the park at around 6 p.m, we were lucky to came across White-headed and Spot-flanked Barbet, Baglafecht Weaver and Brown-snake Eagle.
Other than birds species we also saw some mammals which included the rare Black Rhino, Lioness ambushing a group of Cake’s Hartebeest, Impala, and Elands.
After that long successful day, we retreated to the comfort of our hotel at Karen.
27 January,2012: Today we had planned to visit Lake Magadi and Olorgesailie historical site, both were very good site for birding and we were excited about the surprises the day had in store for us. On our way to Lake Magadi, we stopped briefly at Ngong escarpment looking for Lyne’s Cisticola which we saw after a long search, other than the cisticola we also saw Juvenile Augur Buzzard. Down the Valley we saw Red-and Yellow, Red-fronted and Black throated Barbet, Fawn-coloured Lark, Von Der Decken’s Hornbill, Hunter’s and Eastern Violet-backed Sunbird.
Once at Lake Magadi we saw Lesser and Greater Flamingo, Kittlitz’s, Little Ringed, Three-banded and Chestnut-Banded Plover, Little Stint, Common and Wood Sandpiper, Ruff and Black-winged Stilt .On our way back to Nairobi, we passed through Olorgesaillie historical site which was indeed productive. We saw Two-banded Courser, Fisher’s Sparrow Lark, Cinnamon Breasted Rock Bunting, white-bellied Canary, Nubian Woodpecker, Northern, Isabelline and Capped Wheatear and Northern Crombec.
28th January, 2012: Today, we are heading for Tsavo West National Park, and we had planned some few stop over’s at Athi River and Hunters lodge to search for Red-throated Tit and African Golden Weaver, respectively. Perhaps, we never anticipated that it will takes more time trying to locate the Red-Throated Tit, after about two hours, our effort eventually paid off when we had a stunning observation of this beautiful bird. Satisfied, with that, we knew that we had another five hours drive to our Hotel located at Rhino Valley in Tsavo west National park. We had a brief stop at Hunters Lodge and after quick search; we added African Golden Weaver in our list.
After 80 km along Mombasa-Nairobi highway, we came to Mtito Andei Main Gate Junction, but Charles our driver, was not convinced that it was it for real, so he kept on accelerating only to realize that we were actually correct after 4 kms!!!That meant we had to turn around and head back to the main gate. Clearing with the Authorities took long than I thought and as a rule for birders, time wasted seated in the van was never encouraged, so a quick walk around the main gate gave us Golden-breasted Starling, Eastern Paradise and Pin-tailed Whydah, Vetelline Masked Weaver and Grey-capped social Weaver.
However, we still had 40 kms to cover to be in our hotel for lunch, so we had to make hard choices , either decide to continue birding and we miss lunch, or we forgone birding for lunch, majority of the group choose the latter for the former and Charles did what he does best! Drive us for lunch. After Lunch, which our bodies appreciated a lot, we were back to the van for a game drive in the park. Again this game drive proved to be very successful, we added on our list species like; European Roller, Yellow-necked Spurfowl, Balck-faced Sandgrouse, Straw-tailed whydah, Common Whitethroat, Spotted Flycatcher, Walberg Eagle, Eastern-pale chanting Goshawk, White-winged Widowbird, Grey-headed Bush Shrike, Red-backed and Isabel line Shrike.
29th January, 2012: Today we are headed to Ziwani Voyage Tented Camp on the western part of Tsavo West National Park. After breakfast our birding commenced along the Rhino Valley, Chaemo Lava flow and toward Mzima Spring all the way to Tsavo River and this will eventually led us to exit the Park through Ziwani gate; this morning was also very productive! we saw Common Kestrel, Pygmy Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Steel-blue Whydah, White-browed Coucal, Black-faced Sandgrouse, Speckled and Blue-naped Mousebird, Grey-headed Kingfisher, White-throated Bee-eater, European Bee-eater , African Hoope, Tsavo Sunbird, Purple Sunbird, Green-wood Hoopoe and African Hawk Eagle.
We arrived at the Hotel just in time for Lunch which we really earned.

30th January, 2012: For this day we had schedule to visit two important birding areas, Lake Jipe and Kitobo forest, a low altitude forest located close to the border of Kenya and Tanzania. Our target species included Black-throated Wattle-Eye, White-eared Barbet and Grey-olive Greenbul. After a long and quiet birding normally associated with forest birding, we only managed to record two of our target species, which is Black-throated Wattle-Eye and White-eared Barbet. Other than those we also saw two roosting Verreaux’s Eagle Owl, Black-throated Barbet and Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater.
Knowing that we had some distance to cover on our way to Lake Jipe, we decided that we were done with the forest. We arrived at the shore of Lake Jipe at around 2 p.m and after having our picnic lunch at Kenya Wildlife service’s station, we headed straight for birding along the shore and we saw Goliath, Grey and Squacco Heron, Hottentot and Red-billed Teal, Little, Intermediate, and Great white Egret, Taveta Golden Weaver, Zanzibar and Yellow-crowned Bishop, Eurasian Mash Harrier, Gull-billed and Whiskered Tern.
On our way to the camp, we stopped by the nearby bushes and we were surprised by species that appeared to us! The rare and elusive QUIL-PLOVER gave us a cool minute in display and some lucky and quick guys even took photographs. Golden Pipit, Pangani Longclaw, Black-headed and Crowned Lapwing, Kori Bustard, Secretary Bird, Rosy-patched Bushrike, Scaly Chatterer and Friedmann’s Lark.
31st January 2012: Our destination this morning is Tsavo East National Park. We left early after breakfast as we had schedule some several stop overs on the way to try and search for White-throated Robin (Irania) but unfortunately we did not find it. However, those stop over’s were not all in vain, we managed to have some wonderful view of Quil-Plover, Pangani Longclaw, Abyssinian Scimitarbill, Violet Wood-hoopoe, Southern Ground Hornbill, Spotted Eagle Owl, Long-crested Eagle, Square-tailed Nightjar and Somali Long-billed Crombec.
At round 2pm, we arrived at Sagala Lodge, located in the western part of Tsavo East National Park. Sagala Lodge is only 18 kilometers from Voi Town on your way to Mombasa. It is a bird watching paradise. After a shot rest, we embark on an evening walk to the southern part of the ranch. We saw approximately forty individual of Eastern Paradise, Steel-blue, and Straw-tailed Whydah, Cut-throat Finch, Tree-streaked Tchagra and Golden-breasted Starling in a large water dam. It was extremely warm and generally there was less activity. On our way back to the hotel, we pocketed Bared-eyed Thrush, Scaly Chatterer, Spotted Eagle Owl and Spotted Flycatcher.
1st February 2012: the all of this day was spent birding in the vast Sagala Ranch, we managed to see Vulturine Guinea-Fowl, Crested Francolin, Red-chested Cuckoo, Black-cuckoo Shrike, Eurasian and Black-headed Oriole, Gabar Goshawk, Three-streaked Tchagra, Tsavo , Eastern Violet-backed, and Variable Sunbird, Red-fronted Warbler, Green-winged Pytilia, white-headed and Blue-naped Mousebird, Sulphur-breasted Bush Shrike, Red-billed and Yellow-billed Oxpecker.
2nd February 2012: Today by 4:30 a.m all the group were up for a very early breakfast as we had planned to be in Taita Hills just before sunrise to secure a good chance to see all the endemic, which were our main target. At 6 a.m we were at Wundanyi and we started to ascend the steep hills of Taita. Their several fragment of forest patches in several locations, but Ngangao was our choice and we meet our guide Mkombola just at entrances of the forest. After brief clearances with Kenya forest officials, we secure our permits and in few minutes were into real birding. New in our record included Black-fronted Bush Shrike, Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler, Cabanis’s, Yellwo-bellied and Striped-cheeked Greenbul and White-starred Robin. Our effort to see the endemic of this Important Bird Area was a little bit delayed, nonetheless, our patience were rewarded eventually and we had a super view of Taita Thrush, Taita white-Eye and Taita Apalis .As we descended the hills we had a glimpse of Ayres’s Hawk-Eagle.
3rd February 2012: this day was dedicated to Tsavo East National Park. At 6:30 a.m we were at the Voi Gate sorting out with the Kenya wildlife service’s official. As they always Tsavo never ceases to impress and with just few distance from the gate we managed to add to our ever growing list the following species, Tawny, Steppe, Imperial, Martial and Wahlberg’s Eagle, Egyptian Vulture, Bateleur, Black-shouldered Kite, Barbary Falcon, Grey and Common Kestrel.

4th February 2012: North coast of Kenya. We departed Tsavo National Park for Arabuko Sokoke Forest. We stopped briefly at Mombasa town for Lunch we headed to Watamu town where the Cottages of A Rocha Kenya is located. After we checked in to the hotel, we were informed by our host manager that the tide at Mida-Creek was very good and that it was a good idea for us to try visit there immediately. Our arrival at Mida-creek was a little bit late but we still saw several species which we all needed. Those included; Gull-billed and Saunders’s Tern, Sooty Gull, Grey Plover, Greater and Mongolian Sandplover, Kentish Plover, Ringed Plover, Dulin, Ruff, Curlew Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstone, Whembrel, Eurasian Curlew and Crab-Plover. On our way back to the hotel, we tried looking for Bat-Hawk but all was in Vain.
5th Feruary 2012: Arabuko Sokoke Forest. This day was divided into two parts, half of the day was suppose to be spend in Arabuko Sokoke Forest and another half was supposed to be spend in Mida-creek. We had planned to be in the bird tide at 2:30 p.m as we were informed that the tide time was expected to be at 3:20 p.m
We meet David Ngala, our guide at Kenya Forest Stationed at around 6:20 a.m, As I clear with with the forest authorities, David took the rest of the group for a small walk around the forest stationed. After we secured our entry permit, we got into the Car and headed to the Forest, we started with Brachystegia woodland , many thanks to our very knowledgeable guide who was very impressive with bird calls, we recorded Green Barbet , Mombasa Woodpecker, Pale Batis, Ashy Flycatcher, Sokoke Pipit, Retz’s and Chestnut-fronted Helmet-shrikes, Amani Sunbird, Dark-Backed Weaver and a glimpse of Clark’s Weaver.
We then moved to the Mixed forest, where we saw Forest Batis and Fisher’s Turaco. At 11 a.m we realized that time was not in our side, and we had to drive for 10 km to the sectioned of the forest which was dominated by Cynometra webberi which is an ideal habitat to look for Sokoke Scops Owl. Again with David Ngala as our guide, it took us less time than we had expected to see the Sokoke Scops Owl.
We drove out of the forest and went back to the hotel for lunch and a quick rest. At 2p.m, we were ready to drive to Mida-Creek, where reached there as planned 2:30 p.m, we were done paying the conservation fee charged by the local group who are doing a great job in protecting this important bird area, we took our place at the bird tide, and we waited patiently for bird to be drifted closer to us. Our telescopes were all set and the rhythmic call of I have this and that and that……went on for while we were all buried in sorting our bird identification out. At the end of it all we recorded Saunders’s, Caspian, Gull-billed, Lesser-crested, Greater-crested and Common Tern. Also recorded is Lesser and Greater Sandplover, Whimbrel and Eurasian Curlew , Grey Plover, White-Fronted and Kentish’s Plover, Sanderling, Dulin, Little and Temminck’s Stint, Ruff, Ruddy Turnstone, Bar-tailed Godwit and Crab-Plover.

At Gedi Ruins, we spotted Great Sparrowhawk, Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird, Green Barbet, Verreaux’s Eagle Owl, Wahlberg’s Eagle , and Southern-banded Snake Eagle.
7th February 2012: We had not seen most of our targeted coastal endemic and we decided that we should go back again for them. We Meet David Ngala at the Forest station. We decided we only explore the Cynometra webberi forest and this day turns out to be the most successful day in our entire trip!!. We saw Bohm’s Spinetail, Narina Trogon, Trumpeter Hornbill, Moustached Green Tinkerbird, Sokoke Pipit, Malindi Pipit, Yellow-bellied, Fisher’s and Tiny Greenbul, Terrestrial Brownbul, Violet-backed Starling, Black-bellied Starling, Four-coloured Bush Shrike, Forest Batis, Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher, Black-headed Apalis, Little-yellow Flycatcher, Plain-backed Sunbird, Eastern Nicator and East-coast Akalat.
Taking David advise, we decided visit Mida-Creek once again and to try look for Pacific Golden Plover and African Barred Owlet. We saw both of them, the Barred owlet only appeared at dusk and our effort of using a powerful spotlight helped a bit, though we honestly never had very good view of the Owlet.
And with the African Barred Owlet, we came to the end of our last full day birding. The whole team assembled at Kalahari club for a fair-well party to officially mark the end of this successful trip. We knew that we had half day the next day to do birding, but some our group members (Michael and Charles) were leaving early as their flight from Mombasa to Nairobi was schedule to depart at 12:45 p.m
8th February 2012: After we said our goodbyes to our friends we proceeded to some bushes which are very near to Mida-creek, and our intention there was to try to look for Peter’s Twinspot. We however, missed it and we had leave Malindi for Mombasa before 3 p.m. After a scrumptious lunch at Millbrook hotel, our clients cheeked in to their room in preparation for their flight back home.
